Pokémon, Ash's art style is off!

"I......"

Xiao Zhi suddenly turned around, his face full of eagerness, his fists clenched.

"...We must go and challenge them immediately!"

"Watching the game is the best thing to do..."

Ok?

Wait... a challenge?

The waiter's smile froze instantly.

No?

At your age, seeing such a refreshing match is quite something.

You're only thinking about challenges?

Is that right?

Besides, this isn't even a proper battle!

This is a performance-based competition designed to attract attention.

The previous challengers were mostly pre-arranged internally, and even the storylines were carefully rehearsed.

"This...guest."

He carefully chose his words, his face showing a slight apology.

"I'm so sorry, but the challenge below is... a fun activity specially designed for female guests."

"According to the rules, only women are allowed to participate on stage."

"Huh? Only women can go on?"

“Pikachu…”

Xiao Zhi's face immediately fell, and the corners of his mouth turned down.

The Pikachu on his shoulder also has drooping ears.

The synchronization rate was 100%, which revealed a frustrated expression.

Seeing the undisguised disappointment on the face of this top-level VIP guest.

The personal waiter quickly weighed the options in his mind.

Ensuring guests have a great time is the top priority, but the rules and "unique features" of this event are also quite clear...

He gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

"Well... if you really want to go, sir..."

"Cough cough!"

He was interrupted by a deliberate cough before he could finish speaking.

Xiaoxia stepped forward, put her hands on her hips, and stood in front of the three people.

"You just said... this is an event specifically designed for pretty girl trainers like me, right?"

The waiter next to him was clearly stunned for a moment, not quite processing this off-topic interpretation.

But Ash spoke up.

"Xiaoxia, you must have misheard. This is clearly an event designed for female guests."

Xiao Gang nodded in agreement.

"That's true."

However, Xiaoxia's ears had already activated a powerful automatic filtering system, directly blocking out those unimportant modifiers.

"it is good!"

Her eyes lit up, she clenched her right fist and slammed it into her left palm, making a decision.

"Since you all admit she's a beautiful girl—"

Xiaoxia waved her hand.

"Then I'll just take action!"

Xiaoxia is on stage.

It's always better than Ash playing.

After some arrangements.

In the end, Xiaoxia walked from the player entrance to the glamorous battle platform.

The opponent on the other side has just won.

The blue-haired beauty trainer, who was looking around at the audience with a disdainful yet arrogant expression, only provoked even more enthusiastic cheers.

He was clearly taken aback when he saw the blonde girl with her signature side ponytail walk to the opposite command seat.

He blinked his eyes, which were adorned with exquisite eye makeup.

Her rosy lips twitched involuntarily, and before she could help, a slightly sarcastic whisper escaped her lips.

"Little girl?"

If this little girl is here, wouldn't that mean...?

Xiaoxia: "?"

She was momentarily stunned.

Then, following the other person's subtle gaze, she looked down at her toes.

She glanced again at the other person's incredibly "unscientific" and enviable curves accentuated by their swimsuit.

Suddenly, a mix of shame, anger, and sorrow welled up inside her, causing her to instinctively pull her coat tighter around herself.

It's just a Pokémon battle!

Are people this aggressive these days?!

They're specifically targeting the physical aspects to launch a psychological attack?!

Before the blue-haired beauty could even find that familiar figure, he heard it in the miniature earpiece hidden under his wig.

Then came a furious roar.

"Kojiro! What nonsense are you spouting, you idiot?!"

"Look closely! Those are distinguished guests holding the highest-level VIP tickets! Do you understand what a distinguished guest is?!"

"The kind of thing that even Lord Kuroki has to personally intervene in!"

"I don't care how you play, but you have to put on a spectacular show that ultimately makes our esteemed guest win beautifully and to their satisfaction!"

"You messed up! All three of you will have your performance bonuses and allowances for this event forfeited! You won't even get your meal allowances! Do you understand?!"

James, the Rocket Team elite, is a perfect impeccable disguise.

Upon hearing this, tears welled up in my eyes.

He knows it!

He knew that this temporary high-paying job disguised as a beauty pageant was not so simple!

As for why Kojiro ended up in this state...

That all started two days ago with the three of them submitting a report that was deemed inadequate in every way, which was then rejected.

After all, they were his personally appointed guards.

In the end, Sakaki didn't go too far; although he didn't directly approve the funding.

However, the three of them were assigned to the lucrative celebration on the Saint-Tiannu.

Firstly, it enables them to become self-reliant and solves their funding concerns.

Secondly... He suspected that there was a problem with the internal staff after Kuroki went missing recently.

Although the three of them don't seem very capable, they are loyal.

In the unlikely event of any unforeseen circumstances during the voyage, these three individuals, who have direct contact with him and are often overlooked, might become the unexpected deciding factor in the outcome.

Why was it Kojiro dressed as a woman and went on stage instead of Musashi?

The reason is even simpler.

As a key cash cow project for the Rockets, the staff of the Santo Anu, especially the performers who cater to high-end clients, must undergo rigorous screening and image assessment.

In previous internal assessments.

Meow Meow needs no further explanation.

Fluent in both human and Pokémon languages, they are rare communication talents and highly sought after.

Musashi, even without the heavy hairspray, does have a certain charm.

But his wild and unrestrained words and actions, and the occasional uncontrollable ferocious expressions, were also noteworthy.

It really... doesn't suit the audience's tastes.

It could easily tarnish the reputation of their St. Anne.

However, given his exceptional fighting skills, assigning him a security guard position would be a good fit for his talents.

Kojiro, on the other hand, is blessed with naturally handsome looks and a tall, slender figure.

With the help of countless props and masterful makeup, she unexpectedly received the extremely high praise of being "more popular with the target customer group".

As for whether it's a man or a woman.

In the words of an event planner.

"What's wrong with men?"

"Aren't men just women with **?"

"Only men truly understand what other men want to see!"
